Theatre back to its former glory

This day just keeps getting better. First, the return of the monocle; now, another theatre built in the 1930s has been restored to its former Art Deco glory. Are people beginning to once again appreciate attractive design in their public buildings again? I do hope so! A trip to the theatre is so much more enjoyable if the surroundings are congenial, and what better to enjoy films and shows than in a delightful Art Deco theatre? With luck it will encourage more people to frequent such places, with obvious benefits to the Arts and also, it is hoped, to design. That picture just below this article has just moved another step closer to becoming reality!

About Me

A fan of all things vintage (say, roughly, the period 1875-1950 - but
particularly the '20s and '30s), including steam/dieselpunk,
retro-futurism, motor cars, aeroplanes, steam locomotives, fashion,
jazz, film and culture. Just looking to brighten people's days with the
odd jolly story. Pip-pip!
